I was there at the road that crosses over 41 above five points. Can't remember the name of that road. I was in the median going to turn left toward five points road, and there was a deputy standing there (a car there as well) he was HATEFUL and motioned for me to go straight. He didn't have to be that way.

The LAST thing that deputy was thinking about was making sure that he didn't hurt your feelings. As of right now the little girl is fighting for her life. We need to be focused on the important aspect of this situation and not how you feel about the deputy's social skills.

Dear Anonymous # 2.....My husband is a Georgia State Trooper and unless you have stood in their shoes or even the deputy's shoes, I ask that you refrain from being so NEGATIVE about the job they are having to do each & every day. My husband was at this wreck scene & I can tell you it was pretty bad! They have to stand out in the pouring rain, the freezing cold and the extreme heat doing their jobs! There was a reason for him to point you in another direction. In case you did not know it, the car had hit a "propane tanker" truck, which is a dangerous situation. So I guess if the deputy had let you go in that direction and the tanker had exploded, you would have been upset about that too! Take a minute & ask God to be with the child and her mother involved in this wreck and then thank God it was not YOU!

A woman and her child were hurt annd you're worried about having your feelings hurt by a deputy? Really? How about you get over yourself? If you were turning left toward five points then there was a reason you couldn't go that way obviously. I can't believe you'd actually come on here and post this ignorant comment when a family is being held in jeopardy right now.

I always try to put myself in the person whom is in the wreck or just sick and think that if that was my family I would want his undevided focus on my family member .So try putting your place in that families !

We would like to thank all those who came to the aid of this lady and her daughter whether they were law enforcement officers, medical workers or citizens trying to help. My husband responded to the call and he was impressed with the quick reaction and professionalism of the emergency crews who were all working to save the lives of this wonderful mother and her precious daughter. Those who were there are most likely haunted by the horrible scene as I know they are so concerned about them. Our prayers are with Nancy - a marvelous teacher - and Eve - a gifted dancer - and all the members of their family.

Well said Walter. I can't even begin to imagine what the rescue personnel must experience with such a tragic accident. My heart goes out to everyone associated with this accident and family including the rescue workers.

Wow! Point was wonderful that you were making but the way you made it was a little too graphic for one of the family members to have see and read to me. They were very upset to have to read that about there aunt and cousin that way.

Before posting this ignorant comment, did you stop and think about what that deputy was having to deal with? More often than not, our deputies are the first to get to these scenes when its out in the county. Imagine for a moment having to witness this poor woman and that innocent child in the sate they were in. Now imagine having to cope with that and immediately start working traffic. I came through there about 530 and by then it was pouring rain and cold. Yet they were still there directing traffic to be sure everyone was safe. There is no way I could deal with the kind of mental stress they had to be under working this awful accident.

You are a small, pathetic human being. And I use the term "human" lightly.

In an emergency event such as this, the last thing anyone cares about is how "polite" the police are. They are there to do there job and take care of those involved in the accident and to keep people that don't need to be there from interfering with the life saving work that has to be done, which is exactly what the officer you mentioned was doing. The family is in my prayers for a fast recovery as well as you to get some common sense!

I worked for the DOT and if you weren't trying to be so nosey to see what all the comotion was about, you might realize that Officer may have save your life as well.You just would not believe nosey people we had some that would ride by just to see what was going on. I pray all involved in this will be ok. My heart goes out to you all

I hope that all involved will be ok. We MUST pay attention when operating vehicles. I drive a big rig for a living and you would be amazed at all the things that I see out of these smaller vehicles. I think that everyone that aquires a license should be required to do some training with big truck drivers to see how dangerous they really are. Respect these big vehicles. Our stopping distance is a lot more than yours. Be safe out there.

Our prayers are with them. It was a horrible accident. I understand both the mother and daughter are alive but in critical condition and being transferred from the Griffin hospital to medical centers in Atlanta.

You obviously never had Ms. Turner as I knew her as a teacher...she was straight by the book. I find it hard to believe she was texting while she was driving. She was the only teacher who wouldn't allow us to have gum because it was against school rules at the time. Don't speculate on something you know nothing about. This family is having hard enough time with this possible crisis right now and doesn't need idiotic posts saying what happened or didn't.

You have no right to pre-judge Nancy who is suffering terribly at this time.
To Alice:
I can't imagine what you are going through at this time, but my prayers are with you, Nancy, and all of both your families, and my deepest sympathy about Eve. We, your family from Griffin, wish to let you know how sorry we are for all that your families are going through right now. Please keep us posted on how Nancy is doing and the arrangements for Eve.
Your cousin,
Wanda Buffington Rogers

eve will be mist by all friend i know cause i was a friend my name is carson alley eve was a very deep deep freind of mine i will never for get her i will never for get the days i play with her her at school she was a awesome dancer and singer i will never every for get her voice i will pray for the wilson family and god be with nacy wilson i luv u eve

The wreck happened at 4:45pm today. My dad came up on it right as it happened. The little girl in the back seat was not moving and the mom was laying over the stearing wheel. when they took the little girl out of the back seat she was pale white and not moving. The mom you could tell she had broke both her legs. While some of you are being heartless and worried about how these cops are treating you, why dont you think about these victims. This little girl is fighting for her life This family needs prayers and support. Stop and think maybe the cop was trying to get you out of the way so he could get to the victims. I know your probably use to the world revolving around you but umm guess what at this time its not about you. There were 2 lives at state. Get your head out of your butt and think about other. Before you go to bed tonight why dont you be thankful for what you got and that you are healthy this girl doesnt know what tomorrow holds for her and her daughter. Think before you post things on here.

I work around these big rigs almost every day. The people who are drivers that comment on here are correct. EVERYONE needs a little more education and to learn to be more responsible on the roadways. Don't assume that driver's know anything about driving around the big trucks.
I hope that this woman and child will be okay and it is a horrible incident and could of been prevented.

Very,very sad. And how iggnorant for you to "assume" she was talking or texting on her phone. You weren't in the car...but I can tell you one person that was...and that is the good Lord above. My prayer is that He will touch them with his healing hands and give the entire family strength.

It is sad when people suffer misfortunate accidents . Its even worse when children are involved . I can sympathize with law enforcement for having to cope with the reality of horrific accidents such as this one . I ask that everyone take a moment to pray for fast recovery of the mother and child, and the next time you cross paths with someone in rescue or law enforcement, tell them thanks for their service . They don't make a lot for what they endure each and everyday . Remember ! A big number of them served this country in the military and continue to serve this country through their jobs today . Also , we all need to slow down and pay attention to simpler things in life . Its not so much that we need more training, but to focus on the basics . Buckle up, obey speed limit, no distractions while driving, scan ahead, scan mirrors and blind spots, scan left, right, left at intersections, use signals, keep a safe space cushion ( distance between vehicles ), avoid road rage, and be courteous to others .
Dear Jesus, please forgive us all for being so quick to blame or judge others , as we are to be judged in the coming days ! Amen

you just proved how ignorant and how stupid some people are. your tgonna sit there and say we have nothing better to than get on here and talk and whatnot yet you get on her and make a dumb comment like thei idiot up top. just do us all a favor and go back to eating your crayons. many prayers out to this woman and her daughter

I had to detour last night about 5:45pm through Milner because of this accident. I hope the mother & daughter pull through. This is a horrible thing to hear about.

I'm not sure why she ran into the back of the tractor trailer (it was getting dark and was raining.....Was the trailer not lit up with lights?)

I will say that the divided hwy is a death trap in places and especially with tractor trailers they get impatient when crossing and they just will pull out because their bigger than us in cars. I've noticed this in particular with the logging trucks. There needs to be accelerations & deceleration lanes at all the turn arounds first off.

Not sure why Mrs. Wilson was traveling in the left lane southbound when she rear ended the tractor trailer. If she had been in the right lane, she would have passed right by it! There is plenty of visibility at that intersection and if it happened at 4:45 p.m. it was not dark as you can see in Walter's picture he posted! Some things we may never know! Just keep praying for this family!

This is so sad, My heart goes out to this family. And I can only imagine the pain Mrs. Wilson was going through thinking,not even knowing if her child was gonna make it. That had to be an awful scene. I hope and am praying for this family and this little child that was hurt.. Somebody stupid always has something really ignorant to say, who cares about your feelings, this was a bad accident obviously and some lives could have been taken. They will be in my thoughts.. So sorry to the family and God bless.

we were comeing home and it was about 6 and it was dark couldnt realy tell what happend but i will be praying i lost a cusin bc of running in the back of a truck and it wasnt his falt and people need to look at the weather to it was dark and raining so people need to stop blaming it on txting or calling some one like they said before get ur facts straight and the world does not revolve around u get a life and for the family ill get my church to pray as well its sad to see what people put on here and people now adays my mom was hurt in a car acident a while back and the woman that hit her was still suing her untill the day she died which was in 2009 be thankful u have ur life bc many people dont bc of stuptid people u never know what u have untill its gone im 21 and i know that first had so before u blame a phone get the facts please these people need blessings and prayer and there family doesnt need to look on here and see about ur feelings all they need to see is how many people loved them and cares enough to pray

My 9yr old son is friends with Eve, and I'm just learning of this horrible accident. Nancy is a great person and a wonderful mother. I know she is devastated. Eve is a precious little girl with the sweetest spirit. I'm praying for this precious family.

So what you are saying is that the decision have to be made as to whether they will cut the vent off, please know God stands in the midst, and whatever He say, that settles its. My husband told me when our great-grand baby died a few months ago (actually the funeral was the day after Thanksgiving) that they say that Angels want to know what it feels like to be born into the world. It will be O.K.

I only can begin to imagine what the family is going through yet alone the father. He is my teacher and all that I can do is continue to pray for him and the family that god gives them the strength that they need to pull through this.

I truly love this family. Alice Turner is one of my favorite people..I call her Aunt Alice. She has done so much for my family, especially my girls, and been so helpful and kind to each of us. Only God knows why we have to go through these things. I have been praying for them all day long. My heart aches for them. I have experienced the pain they are going through and believe me it is gut wrenching. Alice I will be on my knees praying for you and your family. Love Valerie Hill

Yeah, I remember that, too. I hate this happened to her. Her kids were her pride and joy, she always talked about them. We all need to be in serious prayer that God will pull them through this. He's done it before for others, and He can do it again for them.

Please, all who believe and have faith God can move, intercede for this family!

does anyone know the status of the mom today? so sorry to hear about the little girl. My husband is a trucker and i can say he was in a headon collision 3 years ago and still has nightmares about it. He wasn't at fault because the other person in the car hydroplaned right into my husband but it is hard on those truck drivers as well when they hear the news of the accident later on during the week. Send prayers for all involved. The truck driver may have tried to stop for something quickly and she may have hit him/her. No matter what happened everyone involved will remember the accident and will need thought and prayers and words of encouragement. Hope all the family will feel the love of God at this time and that the truck driver will find comfort.

This is a tragic accident. Sending up prayers for the Wilson/Turner Family. Praying that God will wrap his arms around this family to comfort them and to give them strength to make it through this. I also want to send prayers up for the driver of the Propane Truck driver. I know he/she is also devastated by this.

I feel so much for this mother and child, and for their family members. I know well the shock and pain they feel right now. Please, folks, refrain from disagreements and insults.....a mother and child are fighting for life, and their family is hurting. Use the energy you would use for arguing in fervently praying for healing, comfort, and peace in this family's lives.

Mrs. Wilson was my chemistry teacher in high school. She was tough, but I learned a lot from her. I am so sad that this has happened to her and her daughter. My prayers are with them and her whole family, who I care about deeply. God, please watch over them during this difficult time. Much love.

hi my heart goes out this family i dont even know them but to hear of someone losing a love one especially a child I feel so much hurt in my heart. You'll life is so short love your family hard and be kind to others no matter what the circumstance maybe we are all Gods children! I will continue to pray for this family.

I had Mrs. Wilson and her husband for teachers at LCCHS...they were both great teachers and cared for their students in and out of the classroom. In times like this it is hard to understand why things like this happen, but helps to remember some of the happy memories. I remember when Mrs. Wilson had "mole day" on October 23rd and we had to be at school by 6:23 A.M. I also remember how hard her class was, but how she always worked with her students to help them out in anyway she could. Thanks for being great teachers and I am praying for you and the family in this time of difficulty. Love yall and thanks for all you have done.

My heart and prayers go out to this family, I cannot imagine the anquish and pain they must be experencing. My daughter and I will remember them all every night in our prayers. And I will keep them in my thoughts and heart all that I can. Alice Turner, I LOVE YOU and my heart breaks for you. You are so special to me and I remember you often and will keep you in the front of my thoughts during these coming days.

This evening at 5:30 on the Pike County Square there will be a brief prayer vigil for the family of Eve Wilson. Everyone is encouraged to come and show support to the Wilson Family during this most difficult time.

I was one of the people that stop to help and talk to Nancy to let her know that help was on the way and keep her alert. I was wondering if any arrangements have been made for Eve? And whats the update on Nancy?

We appreciate all of your concern and thank everyone for your prayers during this difficult time. All of you have been a blessing. Nancy will be home soon and we will begin the next phase of recovery. Thanks to everyone. Your compassion has been overwhelming. Alice

My thoughts and prayers are with this family. I know Alice, Nancy, Eve and others in this family very well and they are great people. This community needs to all pray and support these people in this time of need and please not post inappropriate comments that are not needed. Let's be a little more compassionate. Who is to say when we may be dealing with a personal tragedy of our own and need comfort and kindness.

My thoughts and prayers are with this family. With this poem, I pray for a peaceful heart and soul. Many years have passed for me now. I've read it many times and it always brings a smile and happy memories to mind. In time, yesterday will be tomorrow with cherished memories that will live on with love. We carry our loved ones in our hearts, there they are never gone.

My words may not comfort, but know, I care.

**A Day With You**

Once a day and sometimes more
You knock upon my daydreams door
And I say warmly come right in
I'm glad you're here with me again.

Then we sit down and have a chat
Recalling this, discussing that
Until some task that I must do
Forces me away from you.

Reluctantly I say good-bye
Smiling with a little sigh
For though my daydreams bring you near
I wish that you were really here.

But what reality can not change
My dreams and wishes can arrange
And through my wishing, you'll be brought
To me each day... A happy thought!
